[ he's not surprised that they're being watched, this whole places works off views and entertainment, but for this to be streamed to them specifically does give him pause.
why?
there's only so much time to think as maria continues, she sounds upset, frustrated, in disbelief, but does she know that he's doing all this for her? it was never unprovoked, this is simply how his life is. ]
I was.
[ if she saw then he has no reason to lie, yes, he was going to make sure that someone died here.
he would have returned to maria with a smile and continued any conversation that she wanted, even answer any questions blaze might have had. though, he already knows what would have happened when he returned. someone would mourn and another would question his actions.
but it's right because what can be trusted about him, shadow has seen the look in his eyes, the unbridled anger deep within the younger one. he knows it well, he's done it, he still does... he can't be trusted, he's dangerous, the only times he's ever saw another him happened to be because of robotnik.
and yet maria trusts him more than shadow's own judgement, but should he be surprised? they're shadow, she would humbly give her affection and love to any one of them. ]

I — [ as much as he wants to say something about this, he shifts his foot forward hearing water splash against the bottom of the bookcase. it's rising still. his eyes glance over to the bathroom door. ]
I understand... [ as reluctant as the older hedgehog is, they aren't aware why they're here and so it'd be smart to get out with their lives on the line. ] ...the only way out... is to do our part.
[ there's no other choice, even he caught the way she requested they come back to her alive. are their points visible on the screen showing when they dropped? the hedgehog's ears flick as he continues. ] I have unfinished business to attend to, but... [ ... ] Don't fret, think of something else... like can you figure this puzzle out before we can?
[ she's a smart girl, she even said before that there were thinking puzzles she could do.
as soon as that's said, one hand comes to his ear to end the call abruptly.
